A Lucene MultiPhraseQuery would work, with each phrase position having two Terms -- the as-seen word in the query and the term ‘?’. Performance wouldn’t be so great given that ‘?’ would appear extremely frequently. A variation solving the performance is to use CommonGrams but it would add some complexity to building the query.
